Its a Losi optional part (lightweight machined) - the CR came with the standard black motor plate..... however the Kinwald came as standard with the lightweight part but anodised blue
P.S; let me know if anyone has one NIP they'd be willing to sell - Its Losi part No A9920

The slipper assembly and gearcover are SC10 sourced. I started pricing the slipper parts for Losi, and it added up quickly. The SC10 complete slipper I got off of ebay for $10. I would have spent $14 alone for the outer plates if I'd have stuck with OE. I did buy a Losi spacer and spring kit cause of the difference between the shafts, and I think it will work out allright. Besides it will make it easier to find spur gears now too.
I have no idea what body is on it!
the kinwald's motor plate was not machined at all, just anodised blue.
the king pin camber link was included standard in the kinwald xx-cr kit but you could choose to use it or not.
Pretty sure its the Jammin shell - its like the Xccelorator shell I brought off you but has that indent running up the nose to the front screen.
Re; the motor plate - I didn't realise the blue Kinwald motorplate wasn't the machined lightweight version.... I brought a blue lightewight plate for my XX BITD, but I think my local modelshop has a few of the silver ones anodised up... I remember my friend had a red one
I'm actually after the silver plate for my project - I have one on back order from a hobby store here in the UK (it was listed on their site) But I fear the're not available anymore.

I was suprised to recieve in the post the other day both the lightweight machined motor plate & 3/16 x 5/15" front wheel bearings, that I had on back order.... so it seems theres quite a lot of spares for the XX still buried deep in the store-rooms of modelshops
Rebuilding two XX's right now and I want to understand your carrier set up better having just fought to remove the stock ones only to have the bolt sheer off in the wheel carrier. I ordered replacement parts but may like this better.
So you have XX arms and RC10B3 carriers and axles? Did you have to modify the arms?
I believe the only thing that was done was to ream the outer hingepin hole to 1/8". I wish I could tell you more, but the car came with this already on it so I haven't paid much attention to it. Absolutely zero bump steer BTW.
This car is sweet! Love the newer style anodising on the shocks - it really makes the car look more upto date. Maybe threaded shocks would look even better!?

yes it would, I am going to update my pro se with them also. but Brandons paint work is great and that really helps a lot.
My friend got this Losi XX-4 from ebay recently and not so happy to see the kit condition so he decided to sell it and i took it, im sure you have seen this car before and maybe have the idea who own this.
Servo steering rod & horns missing...

Planning to test the 3rd XX4 with the 13.5T Brushless system with the lipo battery installed on the left side, looks cool but requires longer wires though!
A friend built this up out of parts he had,an HPI RS4 M/T Beetle body,Traxxas Anaconda wheels/tyres etc...You'd be hard pressed to guess there's an Turbo Optima under that body!
Well done,Mark (builder)! :mrgreen:

Gluing the hydradrive together sounds kite destroying the hydradrive. What would be the purpose of that? To make it so it can't slip?
I personally do not know but I have to order a lot of stuff now
Ok been a long time, I’m on the FB some but figured I’d post a build thread here as I’ll have questions. I didn’t get into Losi until the XX car.
Backstory: At the races and I pit next to my buddy that also owns a LHS. One of his regulars, an...

I like that they're so complete, even has the electronics connected. Like they came right off the track and into a storage box a few decades ago. Congrats, they look like fun projects!
Found this by accident on YouTube and should appeal to any XX fans. Not sure if this was done by a forum member or if this has been posted before. The only strange thing is that he didn't include 'Losi XX' in the title.
I thought I'd share here since I don't really have any other outlet for this. Poor bastard went into the drink and drowned. Scattered his ashes past the golden gate today. Here's to you Kyle. You stupid son of a bitch.
I was at a local thrift story a few month's ago and found an almost complete Losi XX rolling chassis for $25. Missing was a body, electronics, spur gear, hydradrive, servo posts, and slipper plates/pads. The shocks included aren't OEM Losi, and do...
